Bike for the mrs!

My other half wants to get a bike, she's not a cyclist and will only really be using to for riding around town and cycle paths etc, she really likes the Dutch Shopper style bikes, but most are heavy with little to no gears, but I have found a nice looking bike by Kona, the Coco, which will actually be more useable, I was just wondering if you guys and girls had any other suggestions.
